【Abstract】 AIM: To evaluate humoral and cellmediated immune responses by MPT64 and ESAT6 fusion proteins and to test protective efficacy against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) challenge. METHODS: BALB/c mice were immunized 3 times at 2week interval subcutaneously on the back with fusion protein MPT64ESAT6. In the spleen lymphocytes of immunized mice stimulation index (SI) was measured by MTT method and the level of secreted IFNγ was detected by ELISA. Some of vaccinated BALB/c mice by fusion proteins were intravenously infected with 1×105 CFU MTB strain H37Rv. Four weeks later,bacterial load in spleens was determined. RESULTS: The titer of sera specific antibody in BALB/c mice immunized with fusion expression protein MPT64ESAT6 was 1∶1500. The SI of lymphocytes in fusion protein immunized group was 2.23, significantly higher than that of saline immunized group (0.88). The IFNγ level in culture supernatant of spleen lymphocytes from the mice immunized with fusion proteins were (4.28±0.27) μg/L, significantly higher than that of saline immunized group [(0.48±0.17) μg/L, P<0.05], but lower than that of Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) immunized group [(5.18±0.31) μg/L]. Compared with saline immunized mice(bacterial load was 6.45±0.17), dramatic reductions were observed for MTB replication in the spleen from BALB/c mice immunized with fusion proteins (bacteria load was 5.04±0.11) following a subsequent challenge, but the protective efficacy in mice immunized with MPT64ESAT6 was not as good as that of BCG immunized group (bacterial load was 4.38±0.22). CONCLUSION: MPT64 and ESAT6 fusion proteins could be used as a novel component of the new TB vaccine. ......
